Which Sage FAS Fixed Assets Is Right For You?

January 24, 2013 by Wayne Schulz

Sage offers several varieties of fixed asset accounting software. Their three main choices are: Sage FAS 50 Fixed Assets, Sage FAS 100 Fixed Assets, and Sage FAS 500 Fixed Assets.

Do you know which variety is best for your company?

Generally the first qualifier may be the numbers of assets you need to depreciate. Sage FAS 50 Fixed Assets supports up to 1,000 assets, Sage FAS 100 Fixed Assets supports up to 10,000 and Sage FAS 500 Fixed Assets is appropriate for 10,000+ fixed assets.

Another important differentiator is that the Sage FAS 50 Fixed Assets will only work for singer user (non-network) environments – while Sage FAS 100 and 500 both work in Single Users/Multi-User or Client/Server (Sage FAS 500).

FRX Replacement Options For Sage 100 ERP: RenovoFYI

January 22, 2013 by Wayne Schulz

Sage 100 ERP 2013 was released during December 2012 and marks the last release for which Sage have indicated the popular FRX Financial Report Writer will be guaranteed to interact with your Sage 100 ERP financial data.

You may recall that Microsoft owned FRX and made a decision to stop development and sales of the product with the final support cutoff date being December 2012. While most users of FRX continue to use the product without interruption – there is no guarantee that a future release of Sage 100 ERP will remain compatible with FRX.

For this reason I think it’s time for FRX users to start researching the top alternatives and prepare to migrate your financial reporting.

The easiest and least costly way to migrate your data would be to begin using the standard financial statements included with Sage 100 ERP General Ledger. If you can make use of these “canned” statements then you can bypass any additional expenditure of time and money.

Realizing that most companies may not want to step back to less capable financial reporting – one other alternative is RenovoFYI.

RenovoFYI claims that they can convert FRX data (pricing starts at $800) with about a 90% accuracy rate. Their licensing for a single user version starts at $2,000 (one user / one data company) with a two user / ten data company version starting at $ 5,500.

Ongoing software maintenance is 20% for silver support and is added to the above costs and invoiced annually thereafter by RenovoFYI.

The company will take your FRX data (rows, columns, trees) and convert them and return the data to you. They also can install and train on RenovoFYI remotely for an added cost.

The program runs in a web browser and requires a SQL database (SQL Express supported).

Here’s a quick overview of the look and feel of RenovoFYI

Process flows may also be exported and imported for easy sharing between Sage 100 ERP systems.

How To Regenerate An Sage 100 ERP ACH File With Kissinger ACH Direct

October 1, 2012 by Wayne Schulz

Version(s):ALL

Problem / Description:

Payroll is run but for some reason the ACH file from KISSINGER ACH DIRECT is not generated or found in the typical location. Attempting to regenerate or run the ACH report produces “no data”.

You can verify that payroll is run by spot checking some employees in employee maintenance and noticing that they all have indications that they were paid by ACH – typically a number followed by a capital D in the “check number” column.

Resolution:

Provided that you’ve ruled out all other possible causes such as: Payroll not posted, employees not flagged for ACH

Go into Direct Deposit on the Sage 100 Payroll menu

– Direct Deposit Processing
– Resubmit ACH Direct Data (this pulls up a saved copy from the \mas90\ddsave)
– Select the data file to pull back into ACH (usually the date of the payroll).
– Follow instructions on pop up menu which will tell you to run the ACH report

– You should now find your ACH file in the customary location
